Short: Update patch for Simon the Sorcerer II Author: e.p.i.c. interactive/Paul Burkey Uploader: Matt_H amiga org Type: game/patch Version: Update 5 Architecture: m68k-amigaos -------------------------------------------------------------------- Simon the Sorcerer 2 Update 5 (31st January 2001) * Free from Distribution Restrictions * -------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the fifth Update for Amiga Simon the Sorcerer 2. The update is intended to optimize gameplay, provide extra features and solve certain compatibility issues. Update 5 (31st January 2001) * Fixed some Sound problems. It is strongly recomended that you reinstall the game or re-copy the contents of "data/voices" from your CD to your Hard Drive. A bug in Update 4 caused the game to corrupt some of the sounds files. Update 4 (13th January 2001) * New Amiga build based on the latest sources after the recent Macintosh Simon 2 relase. Update 3 (16th December 2000) * Solved a slow Loading/Saving bug which was introduced in Update 2 while trying to solve the ASL problem. Update 2 (14th December 2000) * Improved Locale/Language loading. Locale loading is more than 10 times faster. This cuts approx 5 seconds from the game startup and makes in-game Locale change almost instant. This also avoids some potential animation glitchs that can occur when switching language. This is obviously not something that is done often but the 5 second speed-up at start is good. * Changd the ASL code in another attempt at solving Requester issues with OS 3.9 and some versions of ASL Library. Update 1 (12th December 2000) * Added Sound cache to improve performance in scenes where the same sounds are reused frequently. * Improved keyboard input by using Queued input for all keyboard entry. Now key presses are guaranteed to be caught. The keyboard queue only holds one key at a time to avoid accidently pressing (for example) Space bar 10+ times. * Attempted to fix a ASL requester problem which makes Saving an Loading impossible with some versions of ASL.
